26、To develop one's taste in English, the most effective way is to read English books extensively. Yet one may be at a loss to choose the appropriate books, especially as a beginner. As a native Spanish, I would like to share some of my experience.

My first English novel was Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, recommended by many English teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners. But my experience was somewhat unfortunate. I had great difficulty in understanding the novel, let alone enjoying it. It's not the vocabulary that troubled me, but rather the way Austen constructs sentences, and her way of thinking, which seemed too remote to me at that time. My appreciation was disappearing but it came back after reading Hemingway's novel A Farewell to Arms. No long and complicated（复杂的）sentences. And I particularly liked his brief and straightforward style. So my first suggestion is, as a beginner, you'd better choose contemporary（当代的）novels instead of classical ones.

However, if you only allow yourself to novels you will miss a lot of treasures. English essays（散文）can at once inform you, entertain you, and improve your taste in English. The best example is Bertrand Russell's work. Its language is plain, yet you cannot help feeling the beauty and the extreme sense of humor. His simple language enables his philosophy（哲学）within the reach of ordinary people. Here comes my second suggestion—essays are indispensable.

Never follow others' recommendations and opinions blindly, however famous or influential（有很大影响的）the person might be. We should be open to various ideas, but always think and determine for ourselves. As a saying goes, one man's meat is another man's poison. With that in mind, we are sure to find out our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in English.

【1】What made the first English novel that the author read hard to understand?

A．Complicated conversations.

B．The old-fashioned vocabulary.

C．Not knowing the social background.

D．Sentence construction and thinking style.

【2】Which can best replace the underlined word “indispensable”?

A．Obvious.

B．Helpful.

C．Difficult.

D．Advanced.

【3】What advice does the author give in the last paragraph?

A．Compare books actively before buying them home.

B．Read books carefully that are most instructive.

C．Buy books that immediately make us confused.

D．Choose books independently which are truly suitable for us.

【4】What is the author's purpose of writing the passage?

A．To tell beginners how to choose English books.

B．To recommend first class books to English learners.

C．To encourage people to read more English books.

D．To present debates on literature works.

27、It has been known for a long time that obesity tends to run in families, but it was not until about 20 years ago that scientists started to discover that changes in specific genes can have very large impacts on our weight even from early childhood.

One of these genes MC4R makes a protein that is produced in the brain where it sends signals to our appetite centers, telling them how much fat we have stored- When the MC4R gene does not work properly, our brains think we have lower fat stores than we do, signaling that we are starving and need to eat.

A new study, led by scientists from the University of Cambridge and the University of Bristol, has found that around one in every 340 people may carry a disruptive mutation (变异）at MC4R. People who carry these mutations were more likely to have a greater weight from early childhood and, by 18 years of age, they were on average 17 kg heavier, with the majority of this excess weight likely to be fat.

These results were found by studying the MC4R gene in a random sample of around 6,000 participants born in Bristol. Whenever a mutation was found, the researchers went on to study its frequency and effects in the laboratory. Based on the frequency of mutations in this study, it was estimated that around 200,000 people in the UK carry a substantial amount of unexpected fat because of mutations in MC4R.

Professor Stephen O’Rahilly, one of the researchers, said, “Parents of obese children are often blamed for poor parenting and not all children obtain appropriate professional help. Our findings should encourage a more sympathetic and reasonable approach to overweight children and their families - including genetic analysis in all seriously obese children.”

Though the MC4R gene is a striking example, this is only one gene of many that affect our weight. “In the longer term, knowledge of the brain pathways controlled by MC4R should help in the design of ding that help restore people to a healthy weight,” Stephen added.

【1】What can we know about MC4R gene?

A．MC4R gene affects people’s appetite negatively.

B．The mutation of MC4R gene stimulates peopled desire to eat.

C．MC4R is the only gene that contributes to peopled overweight problem.

D．Scientists discovered MC4R could influence peopled weight two decades ago.

【2】What does the underlined word “excess" in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．Proper.

B．Essential.

C．Considerable.

D．Additional.

【3】What can we infer from Professor Stephen’s words?

A．Parents should be to blame for poor parenting.

B．The obesity problem should be treated fairly and scientifically,

C．New drugs can help overweight children lose much fat in the long run.

D．Knowledge of MC4R should be applied to helping obese children physically and mentally.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．Suggestions on how to maintain a standard weight.

B．A discussion of British people’s overweight problems.

C．A study about the effect of MC4R’s mutation on weight.

D．The relationship between people's appetite and MC4R’s mutation.

28、   Brain training is becoming a trend. There are formal courses, websites and books with programs on how to train your brain to work better and faster. 【1】.

1. Meditation

Daily meditation is perhaps the single greatest thing you can do for your mind/body health. 【2】. By creating a different mental state, you exercise your brain in new and interesting ways while increasing your brain fitness.

2. Read Something Different

Books are free from libraries and filled with interesting characters, information and facts. 【3】. If you usually read history books, try a modem novel. Read foreign authors, the classics and random books. Not only will your brain get a workout, you will also have interesting stories to tell about your reading.

3. Learn a New Skill

【4】. Your memory comes into play, you learn new movements and you connect things differently. Reading Shakespeare, learning to cook and building an airplane out of toothpicks all will challenge your brain and give you something to think about.

4. Make Simple Changes

We love our routines. But the more something is “second nature”, the less our brains have to work to do it. 【5】, use your opposite hand to open doors and eat dessert first. All this will force your brain to wake up from habits and pay attention again.

A．Change ways to the grocery store

B．Branch out from familiar reading topics

C．Choose a variety of exercises to challenge your brain

D．Learning a new skill works various areas of the brain

E．We have hobbies and pastimes that we could do for hours on end

F．Meditation not only relaxes you, it gives your brain a workout

G．Try these ideas every day and your brain will be ready for anything

29、Promises, promises

We make them and we break them, because some promises are very hard to keep. Here are the top five most common broken promises.

【1】

You always hear this from builders, repairmen, and electricians. But the truth is very different. They won’t come back until next week (or later). And you will probably need to phone them five times first.

I won’t tell anyone.

【2】“Don’t worry, ”we say, “your secret is safe with me.” But of course it isn’t. Research shows that everybody will always tell one other person the secret. Very soon the whole street will know!

This won’ t hurt.

A favourite phrase of doctors, dentists, and nurses. They usually say it just before they give you an injection (注射). 【3】The full phrase is: “This won’t hurt me(but it will probably hurt you a lot).”

I’ll write.

You make a new friend on holiday or on a bus journey, you swap e-mail addresses, and you make this promise.【4】“Oh dear!” you think—but then you remember that they didn’t write to you either!

I’ll pay you back tomorrow.

In Hamlet, Shakespeare told us never to borrow or lend money. He was right. When we lend people money they always make this promise, but then they forget. If we then ask for the money back, they think we are mean. 【5】

A.I’ll start very soon.

B.I’ll come back tomorrow.

C.But the phrase is not complete.

D.And at the time we really mean it.

E.If we don’t ask, we never get the money back.

F.We love hearing secrets and we happily make this promise.

G.Six months later you find an e-mail address on an old piece of paper.

A group of young men ________ to explore a mountain cave and got lost.________ to find a way out in the dark cave, they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of ________. Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the ________people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the ________of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to__________themselves, they would probably sense a faint light flashing not far away.
